"My War With Brian" is like something Eric Cartman would do. Some slight against Rall causes him to vastly over-react with an aggressive and over the top revenge. While he's doing this he's convinced he's the hero in this scenario and that everyone else is also totally backing him up and thinks he's cool. The fact that it's like that and he had to make everything up is even more unsettling.

Did. That's the Scott Tenorman episode (spelling?).

At this point in time, rapid fire thirty round capacity rifles were known (you could get about 20 shots with one at a time), as were pistols, and the first prototype of the machine gun was exhibited and I'm willing to be Ben Franklin was present for that.

That musket, the "Belton Flintlock", was actually offered to the Continental Congress in 1777.

They declined due to the cost however.

It's like a combination of that and The Coon episodes. It's just really creepy someone is like that for real although it's somewhat comforting he had to lie about it.

Oh, no, it's a good story: you see, the reason Tedd never graduated is because his docs left untreated a wart on his chest, and it sent it's wartly roots straight into his heart. When it was eventually removed, it was like popping the cork on a champagne bottle, emptying Tedd of blood and sending him straight to the ER.
Rall was in bed with a woman when it happened, and apparently the roots of the warr burrowed into his aorta and caused massive bleeding all over the bed!

If you know anything about anatomy or HPV, you know this laughable bullshit. The reality is that Rall originally majored in nuclear engineering and, well, that went about as smoothly as you can imagine.

I'm picturing poorly constructed reactors covered in Hitlers, shaped like something out of Escher/Lovecraft for some reason. Also they don't actually exist because they are a lie.

Different one - I'm thinking of the air rifle Lewis and Clarke carried. In German service ca 1750, and with those two data points, I'm willing to bet it was reasonably known.
It's most popularly known as Colonel Moran's rifle from the Sherlock Holmes novels. Either way, they were right on the tip of invention, waiting only improved precision for manufacture.

And if you don't think the Natural Philosophers of the Continental Congress didn't like things that go bang enough to keep up on that sort of thing, yer nuts.

... which makes me wonder what the hell kind of stupid poo poo Jefferson, Franklin, and say, Sam Adams would get up to when drunk.

Rall is an accelerationist. He thinks the current system is lovely but keeps us just happy enough to hold back from full-blown revolt. He believes that, by not voting and letting the greater evil win, things will get so crappy that people will rise up and usher in a glorious revolution. Which Rall will lead, of course.

This is an easy loving thing for a white, well-to-do person like Rall to suggest since there's very little at stake for him. He's not the one who stands to lose their security net and rights should republicans dominate the government. It's like the ultimate form of slacktvism: you don't even have to head to polls to vote! Just stay home and act as smug as possible.

(note: I'm not saying that not voting isn't a legitimate way to protest, just that Rall does it to be a condescending prick)

Ted Rall is the same age as Michelle Obama, Russell Crowe, Elisabeth Shue, Nic Cage, Brad Pitt, Tori Amos, James Hetfield, shoot, even Sarah Palin. People who have had full careers...full second careers—people who have done poo poo.

His punishment is that, after his whiny rant about how people Kickstarter have no taste because his Kickstarter for a vacation failed, his colleagues continue to get projects funded :allears:

In person he's apparently a decent guy. So, like most 14-year-olds, his self-absorbed, rear end in a top hat persona only exists on the internet.
